Common Errors
Errors
The proposal contains inaccurate information, typographical errors, etc. Be sure to carefully proof your writing well before the application deadline.
Eligibility
Either the student or their mentor are not eligible to apply for UROP funding. Review the eligibility guidelines and consider adding ineligible mentors as an "additional supervisor."
Personal Information
The proposal contains personally identifiable information (PII), such as the student or mentor's name. Remove all PII—even on the mentor's endorsement.
Compliance
The application misses an important campus policy compliance procedure. Talk to your mentor if you have questions about working with human or animal subjects, planning travel or contributing to an NSF and/or NIH-funded project.
